Newcastle Hospitals have been an approved ILM centre since 2009 and currently offer two ILM Awards in Leadership and Management Accredited Programmes – Level 3 and level 5.
Why do we offer ILM accredited programmes?
The aim of ILM is to enable the Trust to develop managers and leaders at all stages of their career to meet the changing demands of the service.
Suitability for all of our programmes is assessed on an individual basis via application form, and there is no pre-requisite to complete an ILM 3 prior to starting an ILM 5 programme.
How do I achieve an ILM qualification?
- Undertake a mandatory ILM induction
- Attend study days as required
- Undertake work based learning and independent study as directed
- Complete written assignments
ILM programmes are delivered via our online platform (however a blended learning offer is currently in development) so it is completely flexible to you. All assessment and support takes place in house by the Leadership Team.
